Abstract
Aspects of the subject technology provide volumetric interface layers for an electronic device. The volumetric interface layers may be discrete distance layers, each having a respective distance from the electronic device, in which user interfaces can be displayed by the electronic device. Applications running on the electronic device may be provided with the ability to request display of a user interface for the application in one of the discrete distance layers. In one or more implementations, the discrete distance layers may be semantically labeled, and may be requested by an application using their semantic labels.
